Are there any other obsessive compleatists out there?

I was doing a little spring cleaning (so I am a bit late) and I started thinking about my collection. I was cleaning due to the arrival of the three new Binaltechs. I have a fairly small place and so it all just kind of gets jammed in.

Well for some reason I decided to count how many BT/Alt/BT*/KP I have. 62 in total (sorry, I am greedy)

Have anyone of you become obsessed with compleating a line? Gone past with customs or duplicates? MISB examples of ones you have open? Basically, I am curious if I am one of the few or the meny who wondered down the long and frustrating road to collection completion.

So you are a selective collector. Probably the smartest way to collect and lest frustrating/expensive too.

wow, by the lack of responces, I am starting to think that I am one of the only compleatists out there. weird

i was for alts, got them all, not bts though, and am trying to be for g1, mps, classics, and animated, but not repaints of another line pretending to be classics.

The only lines that I am nearly a completist with are Classics and Universe 2.0. When I say that, I mean minus convention exclusives, legends and Robot Heroes. Other than that, I try to get all of them.

Well my obsessive compleatist thingy would be just small goals. ie all the main autobots/decepticons in the TFA show or in the TF movie. or all the dinobots in TFA. I've never been compelled to collect a certain series. Although im slowly finding myself wanting to start a TFA & Classics w/ all their G1 counterparts collection.
A buddy of mine actually has almost every Prime created.

So you are avoiding things like Devistaror or the TRU Soundwave? Or are you talking about the Universe 2.0 line? Or just the random ones that they tack on from any of the other lines?
Damn, sounds like you have an expensive little hobbie.

Does anyone go all out when they try to complete aka Botcon or other exclusives? I dropped just under $300 bucks to get a BT Black Convoy which in most people's minds is verging on insane.

I may go completionist with Animated. Mostly because I am loosing in my battle to resist the Dinobots who I wanted to skip. And Oil Slick.

For a long while I've been a selective collector, mainly due to funds and space. However, at one point I was going to try to be a completist for the Cybertron/Galaxy Force lines. That really went south fast.

Since then I've been refining my collection, marking various things to sell and others to keep. Sure, it sounds cool to be a completist, but due to funding and space issues, I found myself asking the same question for varius figures: "Why do I have this one?"

If the answer wasn't that the figure was awesome or I really liked the character, away it went.

Since then my collecting's been more affordable and seems more personal.

Still, it is awesome to see someone with an entire collection lined up, even if just to say "Yeah, that's right. ALL OF THEM!"
